Good evening everyone

Good morning, Jehane!!!

Yeah. One would think. But it gets weird. YD began life being super good @ math but she would never show her working. She was very visual & could look @ even quite large computations & do them in her head. I once asked her to explain what she did & it was too complicated to even try & explain ~ & I only asked because I knew the lack of working was eventually going to cause us problems. It did. Our supervisor accused us of cheating ~ which wasn't possible because I had lost the answer book & even I didn't know if her answers were correct or not. [My mathematical education ceased in grade 3. From that point on numbers never made sense to me & I gave up on ever being mathematically competent] We had a lot of problems with that supervisor. The point is educators know there are lots of different ways of learning & teaching & if you know how you learn/teach best you have the greatest chance of success ~ which is why I don't understand why the eLearning insists on just one way.

When I was a kid in school, this used to happen to me. I figured out the answers but couldn’t explain why, and my teachers would be very annoyed and critical, to say the least. I have dyslexia although I could always read and write, don’t ask me why, and I pretty much always felt “dumb” in school.
Especially in math.

Good morning folks.... I'm finally out of class and done with work. I hate modern eLearning... You no longer get scored on the answer, but get scored on how you get there. I had the right answer today but wrong approach apparently. ARG!

I don't like that forced inside the box mentality. Ugh. Sorry that has happened to you.

In the real world, if you have a question the instructor responds... Today, it might take a day or two for that response.

Hard to learn that way.

I took this over the Susquehanna River tonight as I was crossing the Clark's Ferry Bridge.

That's a beauty. Great view.

It's funny you say that, my doctor just called and said I have a raging kidney infection. Thank God for the urine sample!

Antibiotics are being called in and now that I know what it is, I'll be watching for further signs.

Just take all the antibiotics and you will be fine. Great catch on their part.

Per our earlier conversation...I had to laugh...

O ma gah!!!! You are bad! I was trying to let that go this time.

There is sound logic behind this, certainly with science and math.

Surely actually having the right answer is the most important thing.

No it isn't. What happens when nobody is there to say whether the answer is right or not.
However, if you can show how you got to the conclusion you arrived at then another person knowledgeable in the subject should be able to see where you went wrong. It's why the multiple choice exam system is such nonsense. Even with five options (usually three of those can be ruled out quickly) your left with a 50/50 shot.
This should apply to many of the arts subjects as well when writing an essay. Any fool can give an opinion but to produce a logical arguement to back that opinion up takes rather more skill.
